Boot Gloves for Kids?

Randi M.

Does anyone know if something similar to Boot Gloves exist for kids' sizes? My 8 year old (shoe size 2-2.5) frequently suffers from painful, frozen toes. We wear regular socks to the mountain and change into ski socks right before heading out to avoid pre-mountain sweat, often change into fresh socks during lunch and take our boot liners out of the shells to dry overnight (sometimes even in a dryer). Toe warmers aren't ideal -- they scrunch and can be uncomfortable, and can cause sweating during lunch. I wear Boot Gloves and absolutely love them, but can't find anything that would fit my kiddo's feet.

I don't know if anything that small exists, but doe you you anybody with some basic sewing skills? All they really are is neoprene and some straps.... Should be pretty simple to replicate. If you can't find any small enough, I would see if you could find somebody local who does custom sewing.

I mostly made sure my daughter had her core kept warm when her feet were too small for Boot Gloves. That included wearing a vest even though she really didn't like vests at that stage.

I may have to go this route. I was thinking of buying the smallest size they have and doctoring them. Thanks!

I have a pair for size 21/22. Made by BootGlove. They ARE available in junior sizes, but maybe not listed as such. I never use mine if you'd like them.

Just seeing this for some reason. Thank you so much. I got my kiddo a small and they are perfect. Here's to warm feet!

Don't forget that old skiers' trick of spraying antiperspirant on your feet. Wet feet are cold feet. Keeping them dry is key.
